'9-1-1: Nashville' to Debut Fall 2025 on ABC

'9-1-1: Nashville,' the latest spinoff from Ryan Murphy’s franchise, will debut as ABC’s only new series for fall 2025, premiering Thursdays at 9 p.m. after the flagship '9-1-1.' The show stars Chris O’Donnell, Jessica Capshaw, LeAnn Rimes, and Kimberly Williams-Paisley, and will combine first responder drama with a family saga centered in Nashville’s music scene. ABC executives have teased a special event for the premiere and indicated that crossovers with '9-1-1' are possible due to their back-to-back scheduling. The new spinoff follows heightened fan interest after a major character death in the original series. The future of 'Doctor Odyssey,' the previous occupant of the time slot, is currently uncertain. ABC’s lineup underscores its strategy of leveraging proven franchises and maintaining primetime audience stability.
